Where Ideas Dance
Ideals are like stars: you will not succeed in touching them with your hands, but like the seafaring man on the ocean desert of waters, you choose them as your guides, and following them, you reach your destiny.
~Carl Schurz
When a writer sits before his desk with outstretched arms to type
it is like an awkward dancer tapping upon a stage
the ideas and words swing and tango until they just collide
the ideas and words swing and tango until they just collide
and then they make their grand entrance one by one hitting the page.

All The Words Unwritten
She sorted her thoughts like pages of ideas that were never used
a blank canvas with dull edges unsharpened yet truly sharp
it was like dusty guitars with no strings to play
or an empty crystal vase
her pearls were lost at the bottom of a drawer never to be worn
the creme brulee would remain untorched
each one a perfect thread to a beautiful quilt never made
.....all because when idea's orb was within her grasp
she did not take the time to get a pencil
and simply write it down.
